I know, it's been awhile.
Let me start by saying that I have been planning to write a new update for awhile now, but things have been hectic. This one is looking to be a long one.
Alright, so first thing is first. I finished my first semester at MU over a month ago. Strange, I know. Considering the majority of the blogs I write on here are pre MU, one might think that a large portion of my MU life should be documented on here. Well, sorry but no. I will say that I am incredibly proud to be the new president of the Marauder Men's Glee Club, but if you want to know about my MU life please check my tumblr video blogs.
This starts me on one of many new endeavors for next year. I'm considering taking my 1.21 Gigawatts Radio show and rolling over in to the internet. I'm considering an online talk show. I've got the equipment and the means to do so. Why not?
Anyway, I finished out the year with all my limbs, so I did something write. It sucks not getting to see that group of friends all the time, but hey, I've got a good group here. It's been nice getting to chill with my home group. A lot of changes going on here. Nick's off in DC working for Senator Kerry, James is in Iraq, and Mike is up at State College for an internship. It's strange not having at least one of the three here, but I've adjusted I guess.
Michael is balls deep in his new relationship. I don't like how incredibly whipped and antisocial he's slowly becoming because of it, but whatever makes him happy. It'd just be nice if he'd stick around for more than twenty minutes at a time.
I had the pleasure of talking with James for a bit the other day. It was nice catching up, and just hearing his voice for once, instead of reading what he writes on Facebook. I can't wait till he gets back here and we can get him all liquored up. That boy is in desperate need of a party.
I started working for my dad this summer. It was a little bit of an adjustment at first, but I'm good now. It's nice to get to spend some time with my dad and Jason every day. I know they appreciate it too. I guess he doubted my work ethic at first, but that changed pretty quick. He has me sub out with Mike Ellis every so often, so I'm learning how to tear out and install windows too. It's pretty good work, and I get paid pretty well for it. It should hold me over until school.
Alright, so the girlfriend. This is probably the one that all three of my readers will be interested in. I guess I should start with the drama of last summer.
So, last summer there was an incident where I made out with Rachel, Nick's Ex. Now, I was drunk, and really didn't think it all through. She said to keep my mouth shut about it, and I did. So, she went around and told Nick. Now, honestly I just didn't know what to do. I felt terribly about it, and with everything else that was going on, all it did was add to the drama. Everything calmed down after that, but it still was an unpleasant end to summer.
So, this summer, Nick starts bringing Rachel's little sister Alexa around. She's essentially Nick's little sister too. Well, Alexa and I have always had a flirtatious past; I think so anyway. I've had some really nice talks with her before, and I've always had a lot of respect for her. Plus, she's totally beautiful.
So, Alexa and I start hanging out more. That leads to us talking a lot more, especially outside of hanging with Nick. We started hanging by ourselves, and it was obvious we liked each other. Now, I wasn't going to not act on these feelings.. I mean, I like the girl, and that's rare for me.
She and I talked about it, and she talked to Nick first. I don't know what she said., but knowing her it was something along the lines of “We're going to see each other, get over it.”
So yeah, now we're dating. I like it. I really like her, and so far so do all of my friends.
So next comes Beach Weekend. First of all, you all know about my Senior Week and Beach Week the next year. So, Beach Weekend both of those crammed in to three days. Although, three days turned in to four.
Anyway, Ocean City at the same house for a weekend. More alcohol, more friends, and me and my girlfriend. I was ecstatic. From the moments I remember: Brooks fucking hates Sea Turtles, the beach in the pouring rain is awesome, and my girlfriend is really awesome at taking care of drunk people.
I will point out one big thing that has my girlfriend scoring big points with me. When we first got there, Brooks and I emptied our bags all over the bed. I walked back in to find all of my things folded and organized on a shelf. What an awesome girlfriend I have. Seriously.
Anyway, my dad's trial and everything went through, so he had his license taken away. It's weird not having him driving. He's stuck in my shoes now. I feel kind of bad for him, but like I've said before, he broke the law. He starts his weekends in jail July 15th. It's going to be weird not seeing him on the weekends. He's going to miss all of my Glee Club events because of it. I'll get over it, I guess. It took me forever just to tell my home friends, I don't really know how to talk to my friends at school about it though. Oh well.
Speaking of driving. So, I figured out that if I have someone 21 or older in the passenger seat, I can drive. Well, I have two friends like that. So I'll be able to get back in the habit of driving before I go take my test. Plus, I told Alexa to start riding my ass about it which will help a lot.
Kyle Beatty has been around so much this summer because he and Monica broke up. It's weird because they were together for so long, but whatever. It's nice having him around. Everyone gets along with him.
Alright, I'm done for now.
